Calm, Willing and Confident Horses

Welcome to the replay of our webinar, How to Select Off-the-Track Horses for a Successful New Life.

Whether you’re thinking about giving a retired racehorse a fresh start, or you’re already supporting one through its next chapter, this session is packed with valuable insights to help you on that journey.

In this webinar, Dr Shelley Appleton and Isabelle Chandler draw on years of hands-on experience working with Off-the-Track Thoroughbreds and Standardbreds. You'll learn what to look for when selecting a horse, how their racing history shapes their needs, and what really matters when setting them up for long-term success in life after racing.

This isn’t just about choosing the right horse—it’s about understanding them, avoiding common pitfalls, and supporting them physically, mentally, and emotionally through a thoughtful and informed transition.
